THE attacks upon President Cleveland
by the grand army and by these republi-
can papers which seek to turn everything
to partisan advantage, has had the
| effect of Strengthening him with the peo-
pie. 1t is difficult to find republican
not an office-holder or an organ grinder
who is not indignant at the treatment
the President has received at
the hands of the political cheap Johns
who were managing the grand army a
little over month ago. The republican
papers are far behind the members of the
party for which they presume to speak,
and in this grand army matter have earn
ed no reputation for hberality or ability
to rise above petty Misrepresentation
The indecent attacks made upon Cleve-
land have solidified the party so far as his
candidacy is concerned and have made
many republicans willing that the inso-
lenoe IT the professionally patriotic should
r,oo+ robrl,o nv the reelection of Cleve-
land. This phase of the a'lei " 700 n.y.
foreseen, and indeed, some are so bnI4~f
partisan that they fail to see the drift of
public sentiment now.

SHEBoYGAN imported ninety laborers
from Chicago some time ago TO AID IN
constructing waterworks. They are now
being sent back as rapidly as possible.
The city offers free transportation to
Chicago so as to get rid of the turmoil
and trouble caused by these ninety men.
| Their lives are devoted to two things
| drinking and fighting and the local courts
have had more than they could do to
mete out justice to this offending crowd.
One thing connected with the matter
| which viii make respectable Irish people
| blush, is the fact that this crowd OF
drunken barbarians are almost wholly
Irish. The Irish laborer in the city who
| frequents the rum shop is bad element
in community and this is largely the rea-
why so low an estimate is placed upon
| the Irish character. Whiskey is the curse
| of the Irish people particularly in large
| cities. There is far more cause for the
existence of league to fight the evils OF
| whiskey than to fight for home rule.
These ninety drunken quarrelsome
| wretches have pretty fully advertised the
weakness of the Irish people throughout
| Sheboygan. For some time to come "the
drunken Irish who came from Chicago
| will be topic of conversation and re-
| proach to cast into the teeth of decent
Irish people.

The platform adopted by the Ohio re-
publican convention did not fail to view
with alarm" some things which are being
done. Ever sincei became the fashion for a
convention to set forth the views which
Will most attract votes, conventions have
found something to view with alarm"
1t has grown to be the dingiest express
ion in the English language. But its
position in the republican platform is
proof of the eternal fitness of things
TO view with alarm" had its hey-day
during the war period and the Ohio re-
publican convention made old Time
turn backward in his flight" until the
war period again was reached.
And then with most admirable consis
tency the platform pronounces in favor
of a free ballot and fair count" while
putting forward as a candidate for the
presidency John Sherman whose name is
indissolubly linked with the greatest
fraud ever perpetrated against a free
ballot and fair count"

CLEVELAND should visit Oshkosh. The
argument that if an invitation to a COM
paratively small place be accepted, the
President could not exercise the privilege
of discrimination and would in courtesy
be bound to drop off at flag stations, has
no force when applied to Oshkosh. Osh-
kosh can hold its own with the best of
'em in mixed drinks" In this respect
it is metropolitan and scouts the idea of
being a second city. If Cleveland is zone
of the boys" he can have lots of fun in
Oshkosh. There is something in the eli
mate and surroundings that makes one
hilarious. Grover won't be there two
hours before he will be hopping up and
trying to strike his heels twice together
before touching the ground. He will be
taught, and in fact be anxious to learn,
that soul inspiring air entitled Eve won t
go home til morning and will suit the
action to the word. He can have a big
time at Oshkosh and not be troubled by
the headache when he gets up in the
morning. People ''having fun with the
boys" there don't get up in the morning.
that step being wholly unnecessary as
they consider going to bed an unneces-
sary step IN the round OF enjoyment.

The temperance proclivities of Master
Workman Powderly are apt to disrupt
the organization of which he is the head.
And yet there is no lesson which the
laborer needs to learn more than that the
indulgence of appetite for strong drink
does him more harm than all the mono
poles in the land. AS soon as laborers
learn to restrain their appetites and act
nationally, just as Powderly advises they
should, they are masters of the situation.
But while prominent feature of all
labor gatherings is free indulgence in
liquor, no permanent good will ever come
of their work. When Powderly is cast
aside labor organizations will become
mobs to be suppressed in the interests of
good order

MCGARIGLE reached Canada in safety.
The detectives managed to discover the
manner in which he escaped and tug
was sent out to intercept the Blake at
the Straits. But the Blake managed to
pass without being seen. McGarigle quit
the Blake and went on board the Marsh.
The two vessels were being lowed by
one tug. when that carrying the detect
ives steamed up beside the Marsh. Nc
Garigle and sailor quit the vessel in a
yawl and pulled for Canada waters. Be
fore they could be captured they reached
the shore.
DR.. st. John, part owner of the Blake,
in which McGarigle made his escape, has
been arrested for his part in the transac-
ton and held in the extravagantly large
sum of $4,000.

The pithy remark of an old soldier at
the close of the Gettysburg reunion was:
Now, boys, let's go home and kill all the
id politicians" This soldier meant the
politicians who were striving to make use
of the soldier vote as party asset. The
| past few months have done much to call
the attention of the old soldiers to the
false position in which they were placed
by the politicians who had become man.
ayers. 1t is no difficult matter for a few
self seekers in any organization to gain
control of it and prostitute it to bad uses.
The temptation TO use the grand army is
particularly strong because it could be
a potent factor in molding public senti-
nent and its opinions would have weight
coming from men who had done much to
earn respect. The modest, deserving sol
der remained In the background while
the greedy professional assumed control.
Just such an oUtbust as the action of the
grand army this year under the leader
ship of professional politicians provoked,
was needed to call the attention of its
members to the perversion of their order.
1t will bring about a reaction and the
Phil Cheeks, for a time at least, will not
be permitted to use the organization as a
stepping stone to office.

SANFORD of The Tribune, in speaking
of Hugh Lewis, lately said He was no
good as a soldier until there was fighting
to be DONE" 1t seems he still retains the
old characteristic. j. w. Carman, who
was officer of the day when the grand
army post at Madison was having some
difficulty, published statement denying
that there was any trouble. Hugh Lewis
spikes the fellows gun by making an
affidavit containing an account of the
difficulty and giving Carman as his infor-
mant. 1t makes Carman appear in the
role of a deliberate falsifer. Lewis is a
fighter to some purpose.

PRINCE BISMARCK encounters comph-
cations in his old age which it would be
pleasure for the man of iron to grapple
with some years ago. Russia is acting in
such manner as to clearly indicate a
desire to provoke d war with Germany.
The German government seems to have
made an honest effort to settle matters
peaceably, but Russia seems determined
to provoke hostilities. The thing most
exasperatlng to Germany is the certainty
that France will improve the first oppor-
tunity to recover her lost provinces
Russia looks to Boulanger's restoration
to power and has already taken steps to
win his friendship and encourage his hos
tility toward Germany. An alliance with
England is Germany's safety.

CHARLES REED, the brilliant criminal
lawyer who had been counsel for Griteau,
hes been rapidly descending in the scale
of morality since, and on Saturday at
tempted suicide by jumping from ferry
boat near New York. His trouble began
with drink. About one year ago he col
lected money for client and appropri-
ated it to his own use. He was then ar
rested but the matter was compromised.
His practice left him, he had abandoned
his family and was practically beggar.
A couple of weeks ago he was caught
pilfering money from restaurant till.
The affair received wide publicity and
Reed sought refuge from shamein suicide.
He was one of the most brilliant men of
the nation.

DIR. MCGLYNN's PAPER in the North
American Review has been the subject OF
wide spread comment. The Doctor
charges that systematic effort is being
made to Germanize the Catholic church
particularly in the upper part of the Mis-
sissippi Valley. The establishment of
German schools and their increase are
used as excuses for the appointment of
German bishops. In ST. Louis, he claims,
the pupils of the parochial schools are re-
! huked if they speak English and any at
.o,4 -, the part of pupils to adopt
American customs - as''aeo"' LOU
want to be an American" is ta,", uuhs
at those who show any prediction for
the English language.
Then he pays attention to the Catholic
schools in general. Those schools, he
says. are established not so much to edu-
cate as to keep children from attending
the public schools; just as soon as it can
be done aid will be sought from the state
for their support. The remedy is: separ-
alton of church and state; abolishing all
privileges to corporations whether civil
or religious: equal taxation of all proper
t.; public support for common schools
alone, and only the English language to
be taught in these schools.
While great many papers speak well
of the article. all are unanimous In deny
ing the charge that any attempt is made
by the Germans to perpetuate their lam
guage to the exclusion of the English.
Why the other part of the Doctors
charges should be accepted as true, while
denying the attempt at Germanizing, is
easily explained.

A GIRL in Milwaukee lately had symp-
toms of hydrophobia which were quite
marked when she attempted to drink
water. A dog had bitten her three years
before and this led her to believe she was
stricken wit the disease. The doctor in
sisted it was only case of Mysteries and
he adhered to his opinion though the
girl continued to grow more violent. She
was sent to an hospital and as soon as
she reached there recovered. Many of
the cases of hydrophobia reported are
probably no more serious than this case,
and the patients die from fright

IT seems little strange that in the
case of prize fighters, base ball players
and professional oarsmen, liquor and to-
bacco should be prohibited while in all
other callings their use should be toler-
ated. Is it because of their abstention in
these necessaries to the enjoyment of
personal liberty" that these men are able
to amass so much of this worlds goods?
